"The Global History of Black Girlhood boldly claims that Black girls are so important we should know their histories. Yet, how do we find the stories and materials we need to hear Black girls' voices and understand their lives? Corinne T. Field and LaKisha Michelle Simmons edit a collection of writings that explores the many ways scholars, artists, and activists think and write about Black girls' pasts. The contributors engage in interdisciplinary conversations that consider what it means to be a girl; the meaning of Blackness when seen from the perspectives of girls in different times and places; and the ways Black girls have imagined themselves as part of a global African diaspora. Thought-provoking and original, The Global History of Black Girlhood opens up new possibilities for understanding Black girls in the past while offering useful tools for present-day Black girls eager to explore the histories of those who came before them"--

Como si fuera un sueño, esta historia empieza en un bosque, en el sur de Chile, en una casa de madera donde vive Ana, la niña cuya voz guiará al lector a través de esta novela que se va oscureciendo lentamente. Son los años ochenta y Ana vive junto a su hermana y sus padres, dos personajes enigmáticos cuyos nombres verdaderos ella nunca debe pronunciar. Por entonces, la vida de los adultos es un murmullo constante, un hablar en voz baja, un puñado de secretos que Ana va a ir descubriendo mientras crece y su enorme curiosidad se enfrente a un paisaje inhóspito, a un mundo en el que cualquier paso en falso puede arruinarlo todo. Van a ser los costos de vivir en la clandestinidad, aunque de eso ella sólo se entere unos años más tarde.

As the twentieth century dawned, progressive educators established a national organization for adolescent girls to combat what they believed to be a crisis of girls' education. A corollary to the Boy Scouts of America, founded just a few years earlier, the Camp Fire Girls became America's first and, for two decades, most popular girls' organization. Based on Protestant middle-class ideals--a regulatory model that reinforced hygiene, habit formation, hard work, and the idea that women related to the nation through service--the Camp Fire Girls invented new concepts of American girlhood by inviting disabled girls, Black girls, immigrants, and Native Americans to join. Though this often meant a false sense of cultural universality, in the girls' own hands membership was often profoundly empowering and provided marginalized girls spaces to explore the meaning of their own cultures in relation to changes taking place in twentieth-century America. Through the lens of the Camp Fire Girls, Jennifer Helgren traces the changing meanings of girls' citizenship in the cultural context of the twentieth century. Drawing on girls' scrapbooks, photographs, letters, and oral history interviews, in addition to adult voices in organization publications and speeches, The Camp Fire Girls explores critical intersections of gender, race, class, nation, and disability.
